《Mama’s Hungry Eyes》歌词

[00:00:01] Mama's Hungry Eyes - Merle Haggard (梅尔·哈格德)

[00:00:11] A canvas covered cabin in a crowded labour camp

[00:00:22] Stand out in this memory I revived;

[00:00:32] Cause my daddy raised a family there

[00:00:39] With two hard working hands

[00:00:44] And tried to feed my mama's hungry eyes

[00:00:56] He dreamed of something better

[00:01:02] And my mama's faith was strong

[00:01:06] And us kids were just to young to realize

[00:01:16] That another class of people put us

[00:01:22] Somewhere just below;

[00:01:27] One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes

[00:01:37] Mama never had the luxuries she wanted

[00:01:48] But it wasn't cause my daddy didn't try

[00:01:59] She only wanted things she really needed;

[00:02:10] One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes

[00:02:20] I remember daddy praying for a better way of life

[00:02:32] But I don't recall a change of any size;

[00:02:42] Just a little loss of courage

[00:02:48] As their age began to show

[00:02:53] And more sadness in my mama's hungry eyes

[00:03:03] Mama never had the luxuries she wanted

[00:03:14] But it wasn't cause my daddy didn't try

[00:03:25] She only wanted things she really needed;

[00:03:35] One more reason for my mama's hungry eyes

[00:03:46] Oh I still recall my mama's hungry eyes
